7:08 am
remains that way. >> other iconic locations that are closed include alcatraz, fort point and parking lots and restrooms. already having a negative economic impact. muir woods national monument and golden gate national recreation area and point rays national sea shore are all closed for business. that means fewer visitors at nearby hotels, restaurants and shops in the area. and some hotels are also reporting cancellations. just about a half hour from now, president obama is scheduled to deliver remarks at a construction company in maryland. he's going there to talk about the on-going government shut down. and coming up at 7:15. what house republicans are doing they say could help ease the pain of the shut down. >> new this morning, police investigating a knife attack and there's now a police sketch of the man accused of attacking a

7:10 am
agreement by employees in exchange for a pension swap and the union has made a proposal to pick up almost $3 million of additional money in healthcare. and on top of that the unions have made a creative proposal on wages. i want to say however that it's now time for bart to respond. the district has not given us a new proposal as i mentioned, in 53 days. and that's unacceptable. they now must respond and give us a counter proposal. we want it today. we want it to be equal in measure. we've come down three and three quarters in the last week. so it's important that they now respond and give us a new proposal so the public can be assured there will not be a strike in a week from today. thank you very much. >> we've been listening live to
7:11 am
this news conference, a spokes person for the bart union among other things. >> we have not received a new proposal since the cooling off period began. no. the union, this is our third counter offer. so, in fact, we're negotiating with ourselves as opposed to negotiating with the district on wages. the other point is very important to make. bart has also not responded to any of the safety proposals. we remain deeply concerned about the fact that the tracks are overrun with brush and debris. and if there were a need to evacuate people over and off the tracks, we would not unable to do so on miles and miles of the tracks. they told us yesterday that they refused to reopen the bathrooms that had been closed for 12 years. those bathrooms are open in every other transit system in america and as a consequence to
7:12 am
that, we do not understand why bart is refusing to make bathrooms available to the public on their system. and finally, the lighting in the tracks is dangerous for the workers and again, if there was an evacuation of this required, we're deeply concerned about this. they did tell us yesterday that they plan to go to the board of directors with a $4 million proposal to correct the lighting in the tracks. that's a moment of optimism that they've heard that we cannot settle unless our safety concerns are addressed. what we're waiting for today is a counter proposal. one which we have not had in the last 53 days. >> we've been listening live to a spokes person for the bart union. she said they have submitted their third counter proposal in as many days. they are waiting for a counter proposal from bart. they would like to have it today.

7:18 am
and the traffic is very slow in this area. as a matter of fact, you can see it's backing up all the way up to highway 12 in the area. i also want to mention traffic in contra costa county is slow on highway 4. almost all the way through to concord and 680 backed up to 242 to highway 24. and 237 westbound into south bay traffic getting slow. now let's go to steve. >> thank you, sal. well, the future is so bright here. you are going to have to wear shades today. clear skies. although, there is temperature s that are really mild and others that are very cool. raquel says it feels 50. but it is 50 but feels colder than that. napa airport down to 41. fairfield 60. if you get that north breeze and temperatures held up clear, if there's any fog won't last long. cold, mild. sunshine. breezy and warmer tonight into tomorrow the wind cranks up.
